What this trial studies
This observational study aims to collect and analyze data on perilunate injuries (PLIs) across Canada over a two to three-year period. It will include both prospective and retrospective data from various hospitals treating PLIs, focusing on injury and surgical parameters. The study will follow participants at scheduled intervals of two, five, and ten years to assess long-term outcomes and complications. The goal is to improve understanding of these complex injuries and their treatment outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment protocols and better long-term outcomes for patients with perilunate injuries.
How similar studies have gone: While there is existing literature on perilunate injuries, this comprehensive observational approach is relatively novel and aims to fill gaps in understanding treatment variability and outcomes.
